REVIEW | Sassafraz - winterlicious 2013 in the heart of Yorkville

For those of you who are not familiar, Winterlicious is a culinary event in Toronto that happens during the winter months (stating the obvious, here) where restaurant and cafes offer a prix fixe menu.  Being foodlovers, we weren't going to pass up this opportunity to try new restaurants and revisit old favourites!

Monica had the chance to visit Sassafraz, a well-known restaurant in the Yorkville neighbourhood for lunch last weekend with some friends.

Lime - a good spot for Thai food in Midtown

Yonge and Eglinton is a great place to find something to eat with all the offices around there. I would always walk by Lime, which is a Thai cuisine restaurant. The restaurant has large open concept windows in the front so it's easy to get a good glimpse of what the restaurant looks like. We finally decided to try it on our lunch break.

January 2013 Recap

Wow! Can't believe 2012 went by so fast! I guess we survived the end of the world....which is more reason to celebrate and eat to our heart's content. I thought December was a month of indulging, looking through our photos, it looks like January definitely took the win!

Lunch at Lime, a Thai Asian fusion restaurant near Yonge and Eglinton. Perfect for a quick lunch on your break! 

December 2012 Recap

Hopefully everyone has enjoyed their time off from work, stress and indulged in the holidays! It's definitely been a busy two months with changes so the blog has suffered a little bit but we're looking forward to the new year with lots of new foods to try!

With Christmas, there's ALWAYS abundant amounts of food so we're gonna do a quick December recap of the goodies we've had either out or homemade!

Homemade Salmon crepes with cream cheese and dill for the annual Christmas party! 

JOEY Yorkdale - delicious cocktails & beers paired with diverse menu items are sure to impress!

WOW it's been such a long time since our last post.  We will try our best to keep the blogging momentum going again :)  During the break, we both got to visit lots of restaurant and also cook & bake that we're excited to share with you.  

We'll start with Monica's visit to the new JOEY Restaurant that opened at Yorkdale Mall (Toronto):

Messini Authentic Gyros - Grand Opening at Yonge & Eglinton

Messini Authentic Gyros had their grand opening for their Yonge & Eglinton location on Monday after the long anticipation.  To celebrate the grand opening, they were giving away free gyro's to the public!  

When we got there for lunch, there was already a line formed outside the restaurant (yikes).

Stoney's Bread Company - you gotta eat here!

My friend has been telling me about Stoney's Bread Company, which was featured on Canada's You Gotta Eat Here! We finally decided to go this past weekend and it's definitely worthy of being featured on a food network show!
